On May 31st, the one-year anniversary of the massacre of nine peace activists aboard the MV Mavi Marmara, a group of Haligonians came to pay their tribute in front of the Library...The Mavi, as the world remembers, was the Turkish flagship of the Freedom Flotilla, the international armada of ships that was attacked on the high seas by the Israeli Defence Forces, while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza...They came to commemorate the lives of...the eight Turks and one Turkish-American who had lost their lives in the attack.
